Made a potato-leek soup and a coq au vin.

Soup was fine, despite trying a healthy version - less butter, 2% milk instead of heavy cream.

Coq au vin not entirely successful, tried adding some tofu cubes which made it more of a stew than an au vin. Oh well, it was an experiment, still yummy enough.

Worse yet, I saved a glass of the pinot noir for myself (rest of the bottle went into the au vin) but knocked over the glass. Had to refresh myself with a Guiness.

Baked potato slices drizzled w/ olive oil, and cheese tortellinis, for the kids.

My mother in law is recovering from heart surgery in my house, so trying to be lower-fat than my usual cooking.
